描述一个你想实现的目标
关于未来的卡,所以需要一个有步骤的计划。一个没有实现途径的愿望很快就没话可说了。
话题卡
Describe a goal you would like to achieve.
You should say
- what the goal is
- when you set it
- what you are doing to reach it
- and explain why it matters to you
准备1分钟 · 最多说2分钟
如何说满两分钟
是四个节拍,不是四个答案。卡片上的提示只是脚手架——一段自然流过这些提示的讲述,比四个互不相连的回答得分更高。
- 目标,说得足够具体,可以检验是否达成。
- 你什么时候定下的,是什么促使的。
- 你已经采取的步骤,以及下一步。
- 如果实现了意味着什么,又有什么会阻碍你。
这张卡适合用的词汇
词汇丰富度占你分数的四分之一,而7分的标准明确允许偶尔用错词——一味求稳、只用简单词汇,正是很多人卡在6分的原因。
set my sights on
表示确定目标的习语
in the long run
用于最终的时间框架
a stepping stone
用于阶段性目标
work towards
正确的搭配——不是“work for”
realistically
表明这是深思熟虑而非空想的计划
further down the line
自然的将来时表达
这张卡的陷阱
说出一个大到没有任何具体内容可讲的目标。
选一个你能说出下一步的目标。“what you are doing to reach it”这一要点,决定了回答是否有实质内容。
一个8分回答,以及它为什么有效
读它是为了看清其中的技巧,而不是背下这些话。考官每个工作日都会听到背诵的答案,这会体现在你的流利度分数上——背诵者的停顿方式和真正在思考的人完全不同。下面的细节都是虚构的,你的回答应该讲你自己的故事。
The goal I'm working towards is being able to hold a proper conversation in Portuguese, which I've defined fairly precisely as being able to have dinner with my partner's family without anyone switching to English out of kindness. That switch is the thing I'm trying to eliminate. I've been at it about eighteen months and I can read reasonably well, which turns out to be the easy part and slightly misleading — it made me think I was further along than I am. What I've realised is that I've been practising the wrong thing. Reading and app exercises are comfortable and speaking is not, so I'd been quietly avoiding the only thing that would actually work. I've started a weekly conversation session with a tutor, which I find genuinely stressful and which has moved me further in two months than the previous year did. I'd like to get there by next summer. I think it's achievable if I keep doing the uncomfortable version.拿到这个分数的关键
- 用一个具体可观察的事件来定义目标——没有人切换成英语——远比“become fluent”有力。
- 意识到是舒适感在左右自己的练习选择,这是诚实的自我诊断,而不是进度汇报。
- 结尾干净地处理了将来时和条件句,这正是这张卡特别期待的。
第三部分接下来会问什么
第三部分和你的长篇独白有松散的联系,但问题会变得抽象——问的是一般人,而不是你自己。这张卡之后通常会谈到:
- whether setting goals makes people more successful
- how ambitions differ between generations
- the pressure to achieve in modern society
其他“抽象话题”话题卡
把这张卡说出来
Oliver会给你读一张卡,等你准备满一分钟,然后整整两分钟一句话也不说——这正是你一个人没法练的部分。之后的报告会分别给流利度、词汇、语法和发音打分。第一次测试免费。
